HellBender Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I have a suggestion for a rule ammendment to the Neobay forums. The whole point of the forum is to facilitate buying, selling and trading items on neowin.. I find that posting links to eBay auctions is counterproductive to that point. Suddenly, the forum isn't a sacred place to buy and sell items from trustworthy neowinians at a better price, its a link to eBay where all the bad stuffs happens. So I say that we should outlaw posting items in that forum that are already listed on eBay. That way, it remains a true buying/selling forum rather than just a link to eBay.

Frank Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I don't see a huge deal on posting a link to an eBay auction as long as the person puts information and offers it for sale on Neowin. Just posting a link the the eBay auction doesn't seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetGX Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I would rather they just post it on neowin... I mean it is just easier keeping it at one price insead of having to bid and all that stuff.. So yeah I agree with hellbender on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlishFun Veteran Posted April 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hmmm... that's a very valid point. I'll talk it over with Emu and the Admins. See what can be done. If anything, may just add a new tag: [For Sale: eBay] That way you who don't like eBay will know and steer clear. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I think that links to ebay shouldnt be aloud. As it is a buying/selling, not bidding. Not only that, its not really fair. If they listed it on here aswell. I agree with that other guy too ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stncttr908 Veteran Posted May 1, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 1, 2004 I agree with HellBender. If someone were to sell an item both on eBay and Neowin there is a greater chance for confusion and less chance for a forum member to make a deal.
